GREEN BAY — With Denver QB Peyton Manning closing in on his career record for touchdown passes, former Packers QB Brett Favre will join NFL Network’s “NFL GameDay Morning” this Sunday at 8 a.m. CT.

NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci will be with Favre on the show from Favre’s house in Mississippi, and they will discuss a variety of topics in addition to Manning, including his upcoming induction into the Packers Hall of Fame.

Packers WR James Jones will be the subject of a feature story on NFL Network’s “NFL Gameday Morning” program on Thursday, which begins at 9 a.m. CT.

The story will focus on Jones’ upbringing, which included time living in a homeless shelter as a child, and his foundation — Love Jones 4 Kids — which helps the homeless in both Green Bay and Jones’ hometown of San Jose, Calif.

Packers DE Johnny Jolly and his codeine addiction are the subjects of an exclusive feature on “NFL GameDay Morning,” the NFL Network’s weekly pregame show, this Sunday. The show airs from 8 a.m. to noon CT.

The NFL Network’s Andrea Kremer interviewed Jolly while he was in prison in Texas and after he was released on shock probation. The story details his addiction, prison time, recovery and making the Packers’ 53-man roster this past summer after three years away from the game.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy, QB Aaron Rodgers and fellow defensive lineman Ryan Pickett were also interviewed for the segment.

The NFL Network’s 8 1/2 hours of pregame coverage begins at 8 a.m. CT from the Superdome in New Orleans. According to an NFL Network release, Favre will go on the air to discuss his thoughts on the 2012 NFL season, the San Francisco-Baltimore matchup and his life away from the field.

Favre’s lone Super Bowl triumph came at the Superdome in New Orleans on Jan. 26, 1997, a 35-21 Packers victory over the New England Patriots.

Based on those results, it would stand to reason two Packers will be revealed somewhere in the top 30: LB Clay Matthews and QB Aaron Rodgers.

It may be tough to predict where Matthews will land. He has been voted to the Pro Bowl each of his first three seasons, but last year’s six sacks were a career low. Yet, he’s the defensive player that opposing offenses game plan around, and this list is voted on by the players themselves.

Coming off his MVP season, Rodgers very well could end up No. 1. He set a league record for single-season passer rating at 122.5 last year, and he threw 45 TD passes in just 15 games. He’s at the top of his game, and if he’s not No. 1, he’s going to be pretty darn close.

Are there any other Packers you think should have shown up in the Top 100 so far? How about predictions for where Matthews and Rodgers are ranked? Tell us what you think.
